Recommended mystery novels?

Recommended mystery novels? - Feddit UK

I realised the other day that I’ve enjoyed lots of murder mystery games and shows, but I’ve hardly read any mystery novels. The only ones that come to mind are Altered Carbon and some of the Discworld Watch novels (all great!). Can anyone recommend me some of their favourite books in this genre? I don’t really mind the setting, as long as it’s a satisfying mystery with a great payoff.

Just about any Agatha Christie mystery is worth reading. I personally love the Hercule Poirot and Tommy and Tuppence series. Another series I enjoyed is the Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy L. Sayers. I guess the narrow genra I usually read is a cozy mystery because it’s easy.

Just finished listening to Murder on the Orient Express narrated by Kenneth Branagh. Wish he would do them all, but so far just two are out (Death on the Nile being the second).
